The Look of Love

I love the look of love. Do you know what I mean? Seeing love makes my heart skip and tears come flooding into my eyes. I was looking at pictures of love today on another blog that I follow and I sat at my computer and cried. There were pictures of all sorts. Mother and son, husband and wife, father and son, brother and sister, mother and daughter, old couples, young couples, military reunions… and the list goes on. The cool thing about pictures of love is that they tell a whole story in just one shot. Even if I don’t know the “true” story of the picture one automatically comes to mind. And I love a good love story. I took a QUICK look through the pictures on my computer for some pictures of love that I have.

Chapters - 2011

Happy New Year!

As 2011 begins and I think about the new chapter that will soon be beginning in my life I am so excited! However, I also can’t help but think about the one that is ending. It is a chapter that I have truly loved. Matthew and I returned Monday from our Christmas trip to Colorado. It was a wonderful, relaxing and much needed vacation and I tried to savor every moment that Matthew and I spent doing what we wanted to do when we wanted to do it, just the two of us. It is thrilling and frightening to me that the drive home to Colorado will never be the same, powering through a twelve hour trip that will never be just a twelve hour trip again. It is thrilling and frightening that we will no longer be able to lie in bed the two of us on a Saturday morning till ten with nothing to do but cuddle and talk (at least not for a very long time), and it is thrilling and frightening that in just a couple weeks we will be responsible for another little life twenty four hours a day seven days a week. I am scared of change, and I know this new chapter will not just be a change in my life but will also change me. But I also know that just like the life changing chapter that I began with Matthew two and a half years ago it will be an unbelievably wonderful change. Therefore, I suppose that instead of change I should call this chapter a new adventure because adventures are something you begin with eager anticipation and hope. Adventures sound like a fun and exciting unknown with a little scary thrown in. So, although I will miss the chapter of my life that is just two of us, “Bring on this new ADVENTURE that is three!”

Sometimes...

... a great morning can be ruined by someone else, who doesn't even live in your neighborhood (but is watching a friend's house), yelling at your dogs when they make one little peep...

... But that morning can be saved by a great friend inviting you and your dogs over to spend the rest of the morning with them. ~thanks Dana

Sometimes...

...when everything is going wrong, it probably means your doing something right...
then all you can do is laugh about it.
